SAP Next-Gen Boot Camp
on Blockchain in Financial Services and Public Sector

25 & 26 April 2017 in Regensdorf, Switzerland

Blockchain is being hailed as “the new internet” and is driving transformation for businesses across multiple sectors. “A blockchain is a shared digital ledger that allows transactions to be recorded and verified electronically over a network of computers without a central ledger. Cryptography is used to protect the data from fraud or hackers.”

So why is everyone, including us of course, so excited?

SAP systems touch more than 70 percent of the world’s business transactions and exactly these business transactions will be changed by the distrusted ledger technology The integration of the blockchain in the architecture of financial institutes and public institutions is a key point of the success. Why? Read blog of Susan Galer who has recently talked to our guest speaker Stefan Gasslitter about new opportunities Blockchain opens for governments, businesses and citizens.

Session 2

Business Model Innovation for Distributed Ledgers

The participants of this session will map their distributed ledger technology use case ideas & examples with the criteria for innovative business models by using business model canvas. Therefore we encouraged the participants to openly discuss abstracts of their use case ideas. The outcomes will be structured and documented to describe the relevant information for the business model. Therein a clear value proposition and needed capabilities for the use case will be developed for the discussed use cases.

Session 3

Security and Identity Management

In this session participants will focus on two use cases for an open exchange:

a) court exhibit (Asservat) handling: securing the proof of origination, what parameters of such object should be hashed and stored at a blockchain

b) ID Management for Public Security (i.e. Border Control): how to secure personal ID information (i.e. biometrics) that can be used to speed up checks and allow secure facilitation at border control

Session 4

Turning Blockchain Technology with ERP-Systems into Business Value

The exchange of value has always been a cornerstone of society and ledgers have been used to record and document this exchange. Distributed Ledger Technology also known as Blockchain will have a significant impact on the way we transfer value in the future.

New Blockchain based use-cases in the areas of banking, digital identity, cross-border payments, loyalty and rewards, investment management, and insurance are being developed at an impressive speed, some of which will have a disruptive impact on existing business models.

This session will provide an overview on how to leverage this new technology. It will demonstrate how to turn Blockchain technology into real business value by creating overarching capabilities through the integration into ERP-Systems.

Leading Blockchain- and ERP-Experts will openly discuss with the participants how DLT could add benefit to their ERP-Systems.
